I'm really quite honored and thrilled that you find my music
worthy of your website. My whole approach of playing on the
street was to make my music available to as many people as possible
for free. Now the Internet has the potential to dwarf the persistent
and diligent efforts I made over 20 years ... and keeps my music
alive without the wear and tear on my poor aging body! "The
Space Lady" tape is now available as a CD, and I'm actively
recording more songs, including an album of originals. You're
right, TSL was recorded in early 1990, although I had been playing
those same songs on the streets and in the subways of Boston/Cambridge
and San Francisco/Berkeley for 5-6 years previous. I just had
no opportunity (or money!) to make a recording, until our upstairs
neighbor-friend offered to do it for free on his newly-acquired
digital equipment. "Major Tom" was one of my most
requested songs, but I did lots of other covers having some
otherworldly theme or outer-space reference, even mouldy old
standards like "Fly Me to the Moon" or "The Night
Has a Thousand Eyes" ... most of which didn't make it onto
the record. But the 16 that did are probably my best and my
favorites.
